For common applications/services we are usually sticking to what the operating 
system (installer) is proposing (like in your case btrfs/xfs. Using ext4 for 
the backup discs is fine as well.

Dirvish (or really rsync) doesn't care what the source filesystem is, as
long as it supports the normal unix semantics. So feel free to use the

backup filesystems.
